The thing I instantly disliked about this product is the applicator: there's none! You have to press the tube to get some product out and then use your finger to apply it on your lips. See for yourself:

This is the average quantity needed to cover your lips.

I don't know, at this price, I guess I was expecting a decent applicator?

I instantly fell in love with the thick but smooth texture (think Vaseline), as my usual lipbalm is Burt's Bees Beeswax Lipbalm, and there's a world of difference between the two of them. While Burt's Bees goes on waxy and "hard", Kiehl's goes on smooth and leaves the lips shiny and soft. My boyfriend instantly noticed something when he kissed me after I had applied Kiehl's lipbalm:

- Him: "Did you put something on your lips?"

- Me: "Yes, my new Kiehl's Lipbalm..."

- Him: "Your lips are so soft!"

Overall, I'm very pleased with this lipbalm and I'm considering repurchasing it, but still, petrolatum is the main ingredient, so it's like using plain old Vaseline. Is it worth the price?

Hi Gaby! How've you been?!Great review! I've heard of Kiehl's lip balm and many raves about it. I haven't tried it though. You're right - it is a bit pricey but maybe long term it's better than Vaseline? If not, well then Vaseline is a much more affordable option of the two LOLI still find my two HG lip balms are the MAC lip conditioner and just the plain mint Blistex lip balm.

@VijiiS : It's not an applicator that you can simply glide on your lips, you have to apply the product with your finger.

@Mimi : This is the only Kiehl's product I've tried and it makes me want to try everything else!

@TEA aka MonsterGirl : I love the texture of Vaseline (+

@Charisse : Oh I have yet to try Yes To Carrots lip balm, this brand is quite hard to find where I live z=

@Karen Law: Hi Karen! Glad to see you're back! Yes I don't think I will buy it again, I think I'm just in love with the thick texture. I haven't tried MAC lip conditioner but it's troo pricey for me anyway, and I can't use chemical lipbalms, they irritate my lips )=
